I could not face myself If I didn't respond!!I am just now learning of Bob's death!! I cannot express the sadness I feel... I sure hope you had a lovely wedding! Just know I spent 4 years listening to Bob ... it even shaped me even into my adult years!! BOB WAS LOVED!! No matter what happened to cause him to loose his career in Chicago.... I remember well!! I aged 20 years when I learned that he was let go from gci! The thing that hurts the most is nothing was said in Chicago about his death!! Trib nor Suntimes.... SHAME ON CHICAGO MEDIA!!! BOB GAVE ALL OF HIMSELF TO HIS LISTENERS! SHAME ON CHICAGO MEDIA FOR PREYING ON HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So sorry for the loss!! My all time favorite Bob silliness was the song he did about Ed Vordoyliack (please excuse spelling) But I remember well!! OOOOOOOOH Eddie VD!!!
Rip Bob!! and peace and blessings to your family!! YES YOUR DAD WAS ONE OF A KIND!! A TRUE CHICAGO LEGEND!!
"Dear Friends of Bob-
: This is Bob's eldest, Jami Kath. If you were an avid fan, you probably heard me on the radio as a tot.
: As you may or may not know, five years have passed since our family lost Bob Wall to suicide. This loss is particularly felt as my wedding approaches and as we work to compile an album of Bob's greatest hits.
: Saving others from suffering a similar tragedy is important to me, so I am participating in the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention's fall walk.
: I will be joining with thousands of people nationwide this November to walk in AFSP's 2008 Out of the Darkness Community Walk to benefit the foundation. I would appreciate any support that you give me for this worthwhile cause.
: The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is at the forefront of research, education and prevention initiatives designed to reduce loss of life from suicide. With more than 32,000 lives lost each year in the U. S. and over one million worldwide, the importance of AFSP's mission has never been greater, nor our work more urgent.
: I hope you will consider supporting my participation in this event. Any contribution will help the work of AFSP, and all donations are 100% tax deductible.
: Thank you for visiting my fundraising page and taking a step towards learning more about how to prevent this often undiscussed illness. Click any of this text to get there.
: If you or someone you love has been affected my suicide, I am always here to talk. We lost a very talented performer in Bob Wall. Together we can save fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, friends and loved ones from suicide.
: Thank you so much for your help.
